Hello to all. I am a new member to the list and I'm new to the role of Care Giver. My wife, who is 44, was just diagnosed with PD. She has just started Mirapex. We have 2 small children and my wife is freaking out that she will be unable to care for them in a few years. In my readings to date, I have not seen any info regarding the rate of the disease, how well the symtoms are suppressed via medications. We meet with the doctor next week to answer questions, so I'd like to be as informed going in as I can. I've looked at the major PD websites. I have read that delaying taking Sinomet as long as possible is a good way to go. Any help would be appreciated. -- David ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
